Celebrity Fans: What's The Point?

[Dave]

Benito Mussolini... Bologna

I didn't know that. Quirky, given Emilia-Romagna's whole Communist shtick.

Would be like Caroline Lucas coming out for Millwall.

[cdbearsfan]

Or Bob Crow...

[Dave]

Yep, good point.

Given the many scandals of so called celebrities the club always have to be due diligent who associates with us.

Fred West was a Villa fan

Not really sure we can do anything retrospectively about a mass murderer 30 years after his own death.

Quite. We can’t be “due diligent” about anyone that decides to associate with us. That was my point.

Oh I was meaning anyone involved with presenting or commentating.
I wasn’t so clear. And looking up this Fred West things well that’s quite frankly appalling and so sinister and evil it beggars belief but  I don’t think can attribute to club of course

We met the Banbury Lions in Bruges after the game and they were singing a Fred West ditty. It was a new one on me.

To the tune of "Go West" by the Village People ,perchance?

That’s the one. Although the second line “he came from Erdington” is stretching it I think

[nodge]

I think Nev should explain why there was a song about Rose West being a Villa fan. Which might explain why people started singing about Fred West being a Villa fan. I don’t think he was.

Sound like an unsavoury bunch. Consider passing their details to authorities if they are Villa Park regulars.
I guess they chant abroad so they don’t get arrested.
If this was heard in England at especially at Villa Park they would be reported and kicked out and banned .

Plenty of Right and Left wingers, not a lot to cover the central positions.

[Footy-Vill]

We have their group name Banbury Lions.
So the club have to be informed.
Don't want them associated with Villa.
Travelling abroad or around UK.
Why would they even sing about such a thing?

So the evidence is there can Email or contact the club about this group.

[ChicagoLion]

A tad over reaction.

[Footy-Vill]

Even if it's the holiday mode defence, then it's still wrong.Behaving differently like so many do when they are aboard as the excuse.

No, I would rather not have known that supporters behave like this. And I am strong believer in opposing this sort of behaviour.

Can't they focus on positive chants?

Have to say, why isn't there any chant involving Prince William, or is it a case of waiting for him to be King for his anthem to be sung?

[ChicagoLion]

You do not know what they sang.
It’s extremely unlikely that they have committed any crime.
Thankfully you are not the moral arbiter on these matters although you and the rest of your bots think you are.

Why not?

Travelling to an away game back in the mists of time someone in the car had a newspaper within which there was a photo of the bespectacled serial killers wife. It was noted that she bore a startling resemblance to Big Seamus who was with us. Hence the song started up.

Big Seamus also.looked like doughnut from the Double Deckers.

Age means he now looks like Hagrid from public school cosplay nonsense Harry Potter.
